Police have charged a Tuscaloosa man who they say was caught breaking into a vehicle and apartment in a college student complex.

A resident of The Retreat at Lake Tamaha called police at 1:45 a.m. Saturday after seeing two suspects trying to break into vehicles, said Tuscaloosa Police Sgt. Brent Blankley.

The suspects ran when the woman remotely activated the alarm to her vehicle, he said.

Officers arrived and detained one of the young men. They noticed an open door at a nearby apartment and learned from the resident that a television had just been stolen.

The officers found the television outside the building, Blankley said.

They charged Andrew Madison Smith, 19, with second-degree burglary and breaking and entering a vehicle. They also charged him with second-degree possession of marijuana after finding a small amount of pot.

Smith has been released from the Tuscaloosa County Jail on $26,000 bond.
